Optical path
Consider field of view, aperture and sampling together.
03 / TECHNOLOGY
Engineering the information advantage.
Precision is designed into every link of the observation chain.
TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES
Make the trade-offs
visible.
Technical depth starts by making the relationships between optical collection, contrast, motion and information quality explicit.
Scene context
Assess contrast, atmosphere and environment as part of the task.
Line of sight
Treat stability as a condition of information quality.
Technology at OHMIRIS is not a collection of isolated features. It is a disciplined approach to creating useful information under real-world constraints.
Optical design
Field of view, aperture, spectral band and image quality balanced for the mission.
Multi-sensor context
Complementary sensing modalities considered as an information system.
Motion control
Pointing and stabilisation engineered to preserve the line of sight.
ENGINEERING NOTE
Technical depth starts with first principles.
Optical systems are governed by trade-offs: field of view and detail, aperture and mass, spectral response and environmental transmission. We make those trade-offs explicit, measurable and connected to the intended operational result.
A practical framework
Optical sampling
Focal length, pixel pitch and field of view jointly determine how a scene is represented.
Contrast management
Detection depends on target-to-background contrast, spectral selection and atmospheric conditions.
Line-of-sight quality
Stabilisation preserves the information value of the image when the platform moves.
